[SOLVED] Help me get this RX 570 back to life

[matiasonline]

Hello guys, i bought a used RX 570 Gigabyte 4G and im sure there is something wrong, like used for mining, as i cant install the drivers giving me error 43 from Windows, but when i use the ATIKMDAG patcher its fine, but after playing a Little with games it crashes

MY PC:
ASUS PRIME A320M-K
Ryzen 5 1400
12GB RAM
Windows 10 64 bit Pro

Sounds like it has a custom bios, which will cause the driver to not install without pixel patcher being run each time the system is rebooted. You will need the stock bios and flash it. Sort of a tricky process and can sometimes "brick" the GPU. Out of the 30+ times I've flashed an AMD GPU bios (for mining), only about 4 times it "bricked", but each time I was able to recover by forcing a bios flash using Windows command prompt.

Try to find the original bios here - https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/

Hello i tried with the original bios found there in techpowerup and ATI flash gives me the error : "different subsystems ID" or something like that, my pc is in spanish and im trying to translate what i can

Install and run GPU-Z and find out the memory type (Hynix, Samsung, Micron, etc.).

TechPowerUp

GPU-Z is a lightweight system utility designed to provide vital information about your video card and graphics processor.

You might have to run the pixel patcher and have a driver installed for GPU-Z to correctly read your GPU's memory.

I would also ask the seller you bought the card from is they have the original bios available to send you.

i used without the drivers and it says Hynix

 

[MrN1ce9uy]

Do you have a spare GPU to use for a display output in case you brick this GPU? If not, then you might want to refrain from flashing the bios.

The bios on TechPowerUP is for Hynix, but you really need a driver installed because I've seen it say one thing without a driver and another with a driver.

I'm sure someone had this same problem on this forum sometime this week. Maybe have a read of that and see if he sorted it.
Just using the SEARCH at the top, brings lots and lots of results for "error 43".

ill install the driver then

 

[matiasonline]

so i fhashed the bios of the RX 570 from the website of Gigabyte and now the driver installed without problems (without using the patcher) ill test a game and tell you if it crash

 

[matiasonline]

MY game the forest crashed (the fastest game to crash in my computer) after flashing bios and installing drivers, i dont get error 43 anymore but it crash

 

[matiasonline]

I think i solved it, i underclocked it and now it doesnt crash, so basically the solution was to flash the bios from webpage manufacturer and underclock the GPU

 

[MrN1ce9uy]

It could be just the memory that required an underclock, that is if it was used for mining.
